Stephen Bradlee goes no holds barred with his novel, Falling in Love, a fictional piece based on a true story of sexual addiction.
The realness of this novel was shocking and emotionally astounding.

Sherry, who tells the
story from her own point
of view, is a troubled
young woman who was
raised in a world full
of emotional and
physical abuse. She's
honest, blunt,
psychologically
unstable, and wants to
share her story
with the world so that
others may believe that
after the storm comes
the calm.

Sherry is such a
strong character even
though she is plagued
with sexual addiction.
She fights herself every
step of the way, knowing
that in order to survive
life she must make some
very big changes. The
first, and hardest,
being to find a way to
love herself.

Readers will connect
with her based on her
intense honesty and
desire to make her life
better. After growing up in a home where she
was sexually molested,
mentally abused, and
with the knowledge that
her mother deserted her,
Sherry still desires a
better life for herself
and is willing to travel the deep roads of
depression to
find it.

Her story is
startling. It leaves an
echo of unbelievable
truth. I wouldn't
recommend this to every
reader; many of Sherry's
accounts are difficult
to read because of the
graphic nature. However,
Bradlee writes this
novel with nothing but
Sherry's version of a
stark reality, relaying
a side of life that many
of us have never
encountered nor
understood. In doing so,
he gives readers a
glimpse of what power
addiction holds over its
victims.
